About Lois
Lois Craig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She has 12 years of experience helping adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma. Lois focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
She listens for how past events shape current behavior and mood. She helps people name patterns and test small changes. Conversations often include strategies to manage panic, reduce worry, and improve day-to-day functioning.
How Lois works
Lois pays attention to relationship themes such as attachment, abandonment, and communication problems. She supports people coping with caregiver strain, workplace stress, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. Guilt, shame, and control issues are addressed with straightforward techniques to rebuild self-esteem.
Sessions are aimed at clear, usable goals rather than long theory talks. Lois works with clients on coping tools for panic attacks, methods to ease social anxiety, and approaches for processing trauma and mood symptoms. She explains steps in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t helpful.
The practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Prospective clients start by selecting Start Therapy, filling a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on availability.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Lois uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. One common approach focuses on breathing, grounding, and body-based methods that help reduce panic and intense physical worry symptoms by teaching immediate coping steps. Another approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address communication problems.Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try approaches together and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist revisit progress and fit as work continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a brief check-in without scheduling a call, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
